Last month, I started teaching H. to knit. H. picked up some really cute Pony knitting needles from JP Knit and Stitch and a pink ball of yarn.

H.’s knitting instruction involved short 5-10 minute lessons with repeated knitting rhymes to help her remember the steps to make a knit stitch. She caught on pretty quickly.

She would knit a row or two every few days. For her first knitting project, H. made a knit wrist warmer to donate to her school’s auction.

Of course, I put the first bid down, but since I was one of the auction’s organizers, I sort of forgot to check on all of my bids during the event. Luckily, the wrist warmer was scooped up by one of H.’s best friends (as were the cape and the fingerless mittens I made). Not only did the items I made help raise money for H.’s school, but they all went to people I absolutely adore!

Wanting to do just about everything his big sister does, J. has also been trying to learn to knit.
